EEREs International Goal
Accelerate the international transfer of U.S.
energy efficient and renewable energy
technologies to help achieve U.S. energy,
environmental, economic, social, political, and
security objectives.
3
EEREs International Strategy
Use DOEs leadership in the development and
deployment of energy efficient and renewable
energy technologies to leverage financial support
from other public agencies, private sources, and
financial institutions to enable DOE to maximize
progress toward its international goal.

Clean Energy Technology Exports
Promotion of clean energy technology exports
will mitigate international dependence on oil
supplies from volatile regions help lower energy
costs for the United States consumers reduce
nuclear proliferation risks bring the United
States firms greater access to large foreign
markets and enhance the United States
integration with global sources of innovation.
Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, April 25,
2001

Clean Energy Technology Exports Initiative (CETE)

• CETE is a multi-agency partnership with private
  industry to facilitate the export of clean energy
  technologies abroad.

Department of Energy Department of
Commerce Agency for International
Development Department of State Department of
Treasury
Environmental Protection Agency Export-Import
Bank Overseas Private Investment
Corporation Trade and Development Agency

CETE Strategy

• Establish effective structures for collaboration
  of federal agencies with private industry.
• Draw upon the expertise of DOE, EPA, and USAID to
  help assess the technologies, markets, and market
  opportunities for U.S. firms.
• Increase the receptivity of international markets
  to clean energy technologies by partnering,
  building human capacity, disseminating
  information, demonstrating technology, and
  expanding awareness.

10
Accomplishments to Date

• First Report Submitted to Congress (April 2001)
• Two meetings held with private sector to solicit
  input to CETE strategic plan
• CETE staff working with Deputy Mayor of Beijing
  to make it a clean city for the 2008 Olympics

WSSD and Sustainable Development
The World Summit has a unique opportunity to
advance the new approach to development that I
embracedbased on shared accountability among
developed and developing nations. Clean water,
modern energy, good health, and productive
agriculturecan lead us to a world without
poverty. We will stand together in Johannesburg
to bring our full support to this important
battle. President George W. Bush,
August 19, 2002

CEI Partnerships
CEI is comprised of three performance-based,
market-oriented sustainable development
partnerships with developing economies

• Global Village Energy Partnership (led
  by USAID)
• New energy access for 150 million people
• Energy Efficiency for Sustainable Development
  (led by DOE)
• 20 energy intensity reduction, 20 countries
• Healthy Homes and Communities for Children (led
  by EPA)
• Reduce deaths attributable to indoor air
  pollution by 3 million

14
EESD Goals

• Improve the efficiency of energy production and
  delivery, and work with host governments to
  encourage necessary actions.
• Assist businesses in implementing efficiency
  gains in both industrial and agricultural
  operations.
• Assist central and local governments to lead in
  the efficient and clean use of energy in their
  own facilities.
• Develop financial management tools that organize
  and structure the financial programs necessary to
  attract private capital.
• Transform the appliance, lighting, equipment, and
  building sectors through new technology options,
  performance standards, and incentives.

Bilateral Climate Change Cooperation
I am today committing the United States of
America to work within the United Nations
framework and elsewhere to develop with our
friends and allies and nations throughout the
world an effective and science-based response to
the issue of global warming.
President George W. Bush
June 11, 2001
17
Motivation for Bilateral Cooperation

• The importance of entering into a discrete
  relationship is a function of a particular
  countrys

• Contribution to global net greenhouse gas
  emissions
• Ability to devote resources (human and
  financial) to scientific cooperation and/or
  technology development
• Influence with others, regionally or globally
  and
• Special affinity (openness/receptivity to
  cooperation) with the United States.

18
Current Bilateral Climate Change Agreement Efforts

• Revitalized or initiated specific bilateral
  relationships with
• Australia
• Canada
• Central American Countries (CONCAUSA)
• China
• European Union
• India
• Italy
• Japan

• Similar efforts are underway or may start soon
  with
• Brazil
• Mexico
• Republic of Korea
• Russian Federation
• South Africa

Together with the United States, these countries
account for approximately 78 of global CO2
emissions.
19
Future Direction

• Where efforts are already underway, we expect in
  the near term to

• Catalogue and review existing initiatives/projec
  ts,
• Identify areas where expanded or new efforts
  would complement our domestic program goals,
• Work to secure resources necessary to implement
  expanded or new initiatives, and
• Establish an ambitious, but reasonable,
  cooperative program.

IPHE Vision
The vision of the International Partnership for
the Hydrogen Economy is that a participating
countrys consumers will have the practical
option of purchasing a competitively priced
hydrogen power vehicle, and be able to refuel it
near their homes and places of work, by 2020.
Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, April 28,
2003

IPHE Partner Characteristics
The United States will focus on partners that
have
1) Substantial, long-term resource commitments to
hydrogen and fuel cell technology research and
development activities 2) A well-defined vision
and national strategy to advance technology
deployment and infrastructure development and
3) A commitment reflected in policies and
strategies that effectively advance private
sector development of a hydrogen economy.
26
IPHE Next Steps

• From June through August of 2003, consult with
  potential partners to consider modalities
  (structure, specific goals, and modes of
  operation) for the Partnership.
• In October/November of 2003, convene a meeting of
  interested countries to agree on final modalities
  and initiate concrete steps in structuring and
  implementing the Partnership.
